The snap compiled with this version fails to install, with the following error:

➜  dist git:(master) ✗ sudo snap install --dangerous electron-quick-start-typescript_1.0.0_amd64.snap
error: cannot read snap file: open /tmp/read-file3906864710/unpack/meta/snap.yaml: no such file or
       directory

Using the same configuration with 26.0.10 works without any issues.

➜  dist git:(master) ✗ sudo snap install --dangerous electron-quick-start-typescript_1.0.0_amd64.snap
Ensure prerequisites for "electron-quick-start-typescript" are available                                                           -

After installing snapcraft, if /snap/bin is not in the PATH, it will keep reporting errors. Then, when you try to install it again, it says it's already installed.

Can this error message be more specific, or suggest using /snap/bin/snapcraft? This would be more user-friendly for first-time snap users. I am a first-time user myself, so if there were more specific prompts, I would know to add /snap/bin to the PATH. This is something that could be improved upon later to enhance the experience.
